Bigger by the minute.

Hi Everyone.

We're all good, I was just loading the photos off the camera and thought I'd share a few.

Couch potato Seamus hangs out while I get the washing sorted.

 

Out of the bassinet and into the cot. This also means Seamus will be in his own room - hooray!

Looking good in his All Black suit, kinda looks like Sean Fitzpatrick on that angle.

 

Enjoying a bit of tummy time in the sun.

Coming face-to-face with his creator.

Going, going, gone! One of his latest tricks is rolling from tummy to back.

Life's pretty quiet outside of the baby news. We're just rolling through the summer doing the usual stuff like going to bbq's and walking to the beach. Well Seamus is awake and hungry so I'd better go.

Aimee.

7 weeks and all is well

Hi everyone!

I can't seem to turn the underline off so I'm gonna ignore it.

We've been busy and even found time and energy to do things other than feeding baby and changing nappies!

I (Aimee) am getting more sleep as Seamus is sleeping for longer and longer stretches. Sometimes he sleeps for 5-6 hours at night which is really nice. Week before last I was a bridesmaid (or matron of honour as us married people are called) for Bekah. I don't have any pictures of that though (which is odd) but if I get my hands on a good one I'll post it. Then last week we went to the wedding of Paula and Alex, Seamus was perfect and got cuddled all evening by other guests making our evening all the more relaxing. Tomorrow we're attempting our most ambitious weekend yet. We're hosting a barbeque! It was Emmett's idea and worryingly success relies entirely on Seamus and his sleeping tonight.

Anyway that's us all up to date so here are some cute pics.

Totally satisfied after a big feed, like any true boy the way to his heart is through his stomach.

Helping Mum with the washing out in the backyard.

Smiles are hard to catch on camera, this one is blurry but the best pic yet.

We don't have a bathtub, we do have a baby bath but have found a bucket also works well.

He's huge! 6kg at 7 weeks and wearing 00 clothing already. Note the cloth nappy, not only environmentally friendly but they make for such cute bottoms.

Hanging with his Granddad (my Dad) in their backyard where the new house is being built.

 

"No screaming in the house" sleeping outside because he was making too much noise inside. The fresh air is good for him and he did go to sleep really quickly after I put him out.

 

Tiny toes, a cute pic taken by his Dad.

An update at last

Hello patient readers. While obviously we have a good excuse we're sorry we haven't updated sooner. Wee Seamus is 4 weeks old tomorrow and is growing rapidly. He's beginning to sleep longer at night (like a whole 4 hours at times!) and will even give us the odd smile to encourage us. We're all healthy and well if a little tired at times. We hope you enjoy this pictorial update !)

4 weeks tomorrow and as handsome as ever.

Not so skinny anymore, filling out those chicken legs!

Happy with his great Nana on our trip to Wanganui.

Chilling with his cousin Tyson (4 1/2 months old) again in Wanganui.

Too cute, Summer baby.

Our truly portable port-a-baby.

"I'm wide awake Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Ahhhh happy Daddy pic.

Sleep, what seems like a rare state some days.

Great Ma on Christmas day.

Totally content (haha) in Aunty Jo's arms on Christmas day.

His criminall cute Christmas suit. He pooed through it early on on Christmas day and changed into something a bit cooler for the Summer day.

He loves bath time, it makes his hair go curly.

Kiwi kid in his tiki tee-shirt.

Hospital and then Home

 Aimee and Seamus were in hospital for a while as Seamus had too much bilirubin which gave him jaundice. 

 Grandfather Kerry having a hold. 

 Grandy Geoghegan was also quickly on the scene.

We were allowed to go home last night (Friday) and hopefully will not have to go back.

The night was a shocker with Seamus feeding constantly but it is now a lovely sunny day and he even got to go for his first walk to the shops with us.

Aunty Kate dropped by to see us today.

Seamus having a sun bath for his jaundice ( we will save the nude shots for his 21st)

Seamus Thomas Geoghegan

 Was born at 12:46am on the 9th of December.

In brief: waters broke 6am Sunday, Hospital 5:30am Monday for antibiotics, slow day, induction drugs started 3pm, epidural mid evening, fully dilated aprox 10pm, lots of pushing but no joy, little boy was pulled out by ventouse (suction cup on the head) at 12:46am. The little fella was posterior (facing Aimee's back) until the very end and also had his hand up by his head so that explained the non-arrival through pushing alone.

Birth weight 3.6kg or 7 pounds 15 ounces.

Due today!

We (well, me really) are due today! It's the 2nd of December so the little blighter is officially late from midnight. Now this really means nothing, most first babies are "late" which puts our kid right on time from any time now. It does increase the annoying phone calls from relatives "just checking in" on progress. I'm still absolutely fine, I swam today and went for a couple of good walks. I danced the night away at Pedro and Nic's wedding much to the discomfort of other people who wondered if I was in any state to be doing so. 

This is us at Pedro and Nic's wedding on Saturday. A lovely day but very hot for those of us in suits (the boys) and fat suits (the preggy girls). But lovely none the less. 

Hopefully the next update will be baby pictures but who knows!

Quick pics

35 weeks and going well. The sun is out here as you can see and we're looking forward to Summer and not being pregnant anymore! Sunshine makes me want beer.

AHHHHHHHHH the bassinette I slept in and my Dad before me. Relined and good as new for generation number 3.

A very quick entry as I'm in a hurry but hope you enjoy!
